2011 has been a crazy year for antifascists around the US. The battle of Pemberton, NJ, the failed Hitler birthday celebration, the beat down of NEWP in Boston and tons of hacks leaving us with Intelligence seeping from our pours. Almost so much that we don't know what to do with it all. But before the year was over, unknown persons sent out a final antifa gift to celebrate the new years with. The Vinlander Social Club(VSC), their last remaining probate James Turner and their allied crews all got their private information released by antifascists hackers. The post mostly focuses on Indiana probate James Turner AKA "Grimm" and includes very revealing and embarrassing facebook discussions between him and other VSC members. With hits like these and all the recent murder charges, it seems the VSC, a crew that was once so well respected, is now taking a turn for the worse. Happy new years! See you in the streets in 2012

For those unfamiliar with the Vinlander Social Club, they describe themselves as a ‘voluntary social fraternity of like-minded men’ whose main initiatives seem less politically oriented and more geared toward the rapid spread of venereal disease, laughable public displays of a group-wide small-man syndrome and the propagation of ill-informed probates who are poorly protected and virtually unequipped in self defense. After Micah was dropped from probate status for being a drug user and ditching the club for a girl, Indiana is down to one pathetic probate named James Turner AKA Grimm. Watch as Grimm shows his peers and superiors just how unaware of his would-be social club’s history he is, how limited his understanding of their ideals is and how incapable he is of making any clear distinction of whether or not he is a white supremacist or not (eventually erring on the side of ignorance, clearly portrayed in conversations with other WP yuckers.)

Meet James “Grimm” Turner.Below is a prioritized version of his Facebook correspondence ranging from conversations with his VSC superiors to benign, self-contradictory drivel with friends overseas. Throughout, Grimm demonstrates his inability to think for himself, exposes his nauseating sexual health history and his outstanding cowardice shining through his pompous, boasting façade. Also included are profiles of other VSC members, private forum conversations between them and Grimm’s personal email, all so you have a better idea of what a phony Grimm is and just who the boneheads he’s probating with are. Oh…..and we took the liberty of completely cleaning out their forums. Big B’, maybe you should pay more attention in those programming classes.

Update 1/17/12: It seems that due to antifascist pressure Tim Nelson has been tossed from his apartment. Rumors say he will be living with James Logsdon or another member of creativity movement, meaning he will most likely be out of the city.

Over the years south side Chicago ARA has been pretty effective at not only pissing off, but neutralizing the local Illinois WN scene, especially in the city. But since we aren't super heroes there will always be a few still floating around. In this case we have Tim Nelson from the Creativity Movement(TCM) who has been involved since 2001. Although Tim is a creator, James Logsdon(1233 Holiday RD Bloomington, IL 61704)doesn't deem him worthy of being a white Beret(is there even a functional white beret crew..or a functional TCM chapter in general?) due to the fact that he has been too inactive over the past few years. Tim is best friends with John Alexander, a Serbian(and apparently part Guatemalan)skinhead involved with C-18 and OGS of Blood and Honour. Tim and John are also trying to start a Chicago chapter of Prison State Skins(PSS)and have both been hanging around with everyones favorite fence walker nazi Eric "Scott" Kriske(6320 N Sayre Ave, 773 440 5688)of the now defunct CMS. After being exposed Eric Scott tried to deny being a white power piece of shit, but after being blacklisted from major portions of the local punk and skin head scene, he has clearly moved towards working with more organized/disorganized neo-nazis such as John and Tim. Tims favorite hobbies are getting drunk, doing drugs, cheating on his 21 old girlfriend and, according to his sons mother, being a bad father. Apparently Tim hasn't contributed any money or time to his son Damien because he is too busy getting wasted and trying to have sex with young girls. She says he is a loser with a suspended license who gets injured every time time he drinks. The master race shows it beautiful face once again. Merry Christmas Tim!! Maybe next years will be a little better seeing as Damien will be with you as he was in 2010

It seems that the nazis just can't stop getting caught for commiting ridiculous crimes. Patrick Langballe trying to rob lottery tickets, Brian Moudry chasing a kid with a BB gun and then trying to flush the parts down the toilet and Mariusz Wdziekonski spray painting graves in a Jewish cemetery, and that's only in Illinois! Now, In Angola, IN, Timothy Alan Chriswell-Rottger, a 19 year old white supremacist, was arrested for throwing a pipe bomb in a neighborhood on the west side of town after stupidly bragging about it on his facebook wall. We keep getting smarter, they just keep getting dumber.

ANGOLA, Ind. (WANE) - According to our partner in news, The Herald Republican in Angola, an Angola teenager is in custody in the Steuben County Jail on a Class A felony charge of detonating a destructive device with the intent to cause injury or to intimidate.Timothy Alan Chriswell-Rottger, 19, was arrested for allegedly detonating a pipe bomb in a neighborhood on Angola’s west side.Police said Chriswell-Rottger detonated the device to intimidate or injure rivals on September 20.A witness saw a vehicle from which the bomb was thrown into the front yard of a residence. Police were able to track down the vehicle and were able to get other information about Chriswell-Rottger through his Facebook page.After a two-week investigation, Chriswell-Rottger was interviewed by police and police said he admitted to the incident that caused damage to four mobile homes and a car.The bomb was made using information found on the Internet, Crooks said.In a posting Sunday on his “wall” on his Facebook page, Chriswell-Rottger wrote, “BIG BOOM!!! Gotta love Pyrodex!!!”Pyrodex is a brand of black powder, which is used in muzzle-loaded guns.Chriswell-Rotter’s Facebook page is heavily populated with sayings that are anti-African American. There are also discussions with his friends that are anti-Hispanic.Crooks said more information about the case would be available as paperwork makes its way through the court system.Angola police have been assisted in their investigation by Indiana State Police, Steuben County Sheriff’s Department, the local SWAT team and the federal bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Just before 2:30am on Monday December 12th an apparent drive by shooting hit Charles St in the St. Lawrence-McAllister neighborhood of Lafayette, IN. News reports have confirmed that this was a "targeted" incident, but none relay the fact that the home owner, "Bill Huddleston", is associated with the infamous Aryan Nations(AN). Although Bill claims to not be involved and says he's a latin king his ties are quite clear.

It hasn't been a great few years for the three factions that make up Aryan Nations; the founder of AryansBook and rap producer Chris Hogan was arrested for possessing illegal narcotics, Zach beck got his ass kicked kicked and sentenced to 51 months in prison after trying to assault a black man, Paul Mullet got owned on the internet and August Kreis the third, who lossed his legs to diabetes, recently received time served after pleading guilty to fraud in August. Even Aryan Nations' lawyer Edger Steele was sentenced to 50 years for trying to kill his wife and mother in law. So to add some more salt to the wound, here are some names, addresses and more of Huddleston and some of his AN associates:

On December 7th antifascists hackers released the private emails of John Taylor Bowles(102 Old Depot Road Enoree, SC), the political advisor of the American Nazi Party "security arm", which included tons of juicy correspondence between Bowles and other associates of the ANP, rival NS organizations and his family. The release was also loaded with personal information on Bowles and other ANP members/supporters such as full names, addresses, phone numbers and even a social security number. The reason we at south side ARA are re-posting this article is because there is tons of information within its content that is pertinent to the midwest; Chairman Rocky Suhaydas Michigan address, info on David Strausbaugh who invited John Bowles to speak at Worthington Kilbourne High School at 1499 Hard Road Columbus, OH and even two Illinois nazis not previously known to us; Paul Kozak and Chris Wasserstrom. Not only was this info put online but the hackers actually defaced Bowles blog and replaced it's content with the private info along with some pretty snarky trash talk; "Nazi Dumbass John T Bowle's Private Emails and Dirty Laundry.Hey Bonehead, here's all your private emails and dirty laundry for the whole world to see. Social Security Number 219-76-4273. Address: 102 Old Depot Road Enoree, SC 29335. Cellphone: 864-969-3456. umad bro?"

Do you remember that Nazi organization that publicly endorsed the Occupation Movement through Twitter? No, not the NSM, (they actually showed up in person). The half-witted group we are talking about is called the American Nazi Party (ANP). The ANP are a very secretive and semi-clandestine “political-educational association” led by Rocky Suhayda. They do not make major public appearances like the NSM and are also very legalistic. This group claims George Lincoln Rockwell as their founder, but there is no actual connection to the original ANP or its successor organizations, aside from the fact that their website sells nostalgic reprints of Rockwell’s 1960s-era magazine “The Storm Trooper”. The information we are releasing below is being done three days before their “big” Christmas get together in South Carolina on December 10th.

Occupy Wall Street is one of the most exciting political developments in years, but like any social movement it has its contradictions. As I noted briefly at the end of my previous post, the Occupy movement is vulnerable to right-wing overtures to the extent that many progressive-minded activists lack clear anti-capitalist and anti-fascist politics. While some Occupiers have put forward a radical class analysis, others have voiced a sort of liberal populism, which identifies the problem as specific institutions, policies, or subjective behaviors rather than the capitalist system. Several leftists on other websites have addressed this political limitation and its unfortunate resonances with right-wing ideology. Here I want to summarize some of their main points, then offer an important counter-example of Occupy movement anti-capitalism – the plan by West coast Occupy movements to blockade ports on December 12th.

Against "corporate greed"Bill Weinberg has urged Occupiers to take a clear stand against capitalism, rejecting the defensive slogan, "We aren't against capitalism, we're against corporate greed." Weinberg counters: "The assumption behind this response is that with enough public oversight or (in the more reactionary versions) if Wall Street brokers acted with greater patriotism, capitalism could 'work.'" Failing to target capitalism as a system, he argues, offers more room to "gold-standard crankery, Federal Reserve fetishism and other right-wing, pro-capitalist responses to the crisis" – including antisemitism.

Ross Wolfe similarly criticizes the tendency by many protesters to blame greed for the inequities of capitalism, arguing that this "mistakes an epiphenomenal characteristic of capitalism for something more fundamental" and "ignores the way that the capitalists themselves are implicated by the intrinsic logic of capital." Even the capitalist who enjoys the benefits of great wealth "is constantly compelled to reinvest his capital back into production in order to stay afloat." Thus "capitalism is not a moral but rather a structural problem." Wolfe further argues that blaming capitalist inequities on rich people's moral failings "ultimately amounts to what might be called the 'diabolical' view of society – the idea that all of society's ills can be traced back to some scheming cabal of businessmen conspiring over how to best fuck over the general public. (The 'diabolical' view of society is not all that far removed from conspiracy theories about the 'New World Order, the Illuminati, or 'International Jewry.'…)"

Glorifying the "real" economyThe Occupy movement's focus on banks presents a related pitfall, depending on whether banks are targeted as a major component of the capitalist system or as a parasitic growth on it. As BobFromBrockley points out in a wide-ranging discussion of Occupy, "the valorization of the good, honest, organic 'real economy' against the predatory tentacular finance capital is not just a feature of the Zeitgeist movement and antisemitic cranks," but has also been taken up, for example, by liberal Christians. Bob continues:

"The idea that capitalism would be fine if we removed all that smoke and mirrors finance stuff and got back to the 'real' production of stuff is both deeply reactionary (based on nostalgia for something that never existed, and with a close kinship to the 'socialism of fools' that thinks the problem is Jew-financiers) but also empirically nonsense. Sweatshops where adults and children labour for long hours in appalling conditions to make clothes and electronic components are part of 'the real economy'. As are the biofuel plantations that are eating up the rainforests that produce the air we breathe. As are the oil wells and oil pipes that poison our river deltas; the manufacture of weapons of torture and warfare; the coltan mines that central African child soldiers kill and are killed for; the soybean and rapeseed monocultures that we rely on for our daily meals, the beds we sleep on wrought from rainforest lumber; and so on. All wage labour involves exploitation, whatever part of the capitalist economy you’re in. The 'real economy' may be realer, but it is ultimately no better."

West coast port shutdown and class politicsIn contrast with liberal populism, the plan by West coast Occupations to shut down West coast ports on December 12th defines the movement as confronting structural, class inequality. The action is specifically planned in solidarity with labor battles by port workers in Longview (Washington) and Los Angeles, but more broadly to "economically disrupt 'wall street on the waterfront.'" The website for the action declares, "U.S. ports have…become economic engines for the elite; the 1% these trade hubs serve are free to rip the shirts off the backs of the 99% who turn their profits." Occupy Seattle's port shutdown statement declares further that "the Occupy movement is part of the workers' movement," whether its members are union members or non-members, unemployed, students, or homeless. The Seattle statement also draws connections between corporate union-busting, government budget cuts that target working people, and police violence and harassment of Occupy activists worldwide. (Occupy Seattle organizers have issued an emergency fundraising request to help charter buses for the port shutdown. Donations can be made at https://www.wepay.com/donate/42135.)

Anti-capitalism versus liberal populism is only one dimension of the Occupy Wall Street movement. This issue doesn't capture the movement's dynamism or fluidity: the way it has opened up important new space for people to tell their stories and debate what is happening in the economy and society, and the way people's politics can shift and change – sometimes very quickly – when participating in mass activism or facing police repression. Critiquing capitalism as a system isn't a full recipe for radical change, but it is a necessary ingredient.

TORCH Points of Unity:

1. We disrupt fascist and far right organizing and activity.

2. We don’t rely on the cops or courts to do our work for us. This
doesn’t mean we never go to court, but the cops uphold white supremacy
and the status quo. They attack us and everyone who resists oppression.
We must rely on ourselves to protect ourselves and stop the fascists.

3. We oppose all forms of oppression and exploitation. We intend to do
the hard work necessary to build a broad, strong movement of oppressed
people centered on the working class against racism, sexism, nativism,
anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, and discrimination
against the disabled, the oldest, the youngest, and the most oppressed
people. We support abortion rights and reproductive freedom. We want a
classless, free society. We intend to win!

4. We hold ourselves accountable personally and collectively to live up to our ideals and values.

5. We not only support each other within the network, but we also
support people outside the network who we believe have similar aims or
principles. An attack against one is an attack against all.
